The U.S. federal government entered a partial shutdown at midnight on September 30, 2025, after Congress failed to pass a continuing resolution due to partisan disagreements on extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies. Democrats seek to prevent premium increases for over 20 million Americans, while Republicans oppose the measure, arguing it indirectly benefits undocumented immigrants despite federal restrictions. The shutdown furloughs federal workers, delays IRS refunds, and endangers programs like WIC serving low-income families, with polls showing more public blame directed at Republicans.
